Hospital stay

Current hospital lists:

Basic insurance covers essential medical care to restore you to health or keep you healthy. Supplementary hospital insurance gives you greater freedom of choice and a more comfortable room during an inpatient hospital stay anywhere in Switzerland and even some locations abroad.

Well before you're admitted to hospital, check out exactly what insurance cover you have taken out. You can find this information in your policy.

Benefits covered by the insurance

If you have selected an alternative insurance model, the following applies instead:

BeneFit PLUS Family Doctor option: You always contact your selected family doctor (or group practice). If necessary, your family doctor or group practice will refer you to a specialist or hospital.

BeneFit PLUS Telemedicine option: You always contact the doctors of the Centre for Telemedicine. If necessary, the doctor will refer you to a doctor, specialist or hospital for a physical consultation.
